Hacked photos from adult dating sites

After a thorough analysis, the data does not appear to contain sexual preference data unlike the 2015 breach, however.

Researchers found that the hacked Instagram accounts had sexual images, different profile biography, image and name, and new photos uploaded.

Photos tell people to visit the link in a person's profile which is a shortened URL to a website.

When pressed on details, Ballou declined to comment further.

But why Friend Finder Networks has held onto millions of accounts belonging to customers is a mystery, given that the site was sold to Penthouse Global Media in February."We are aware of the data hack and we are waiting on Friend Finder to give us a detailed account of the scope of the breach and their remedial actions in regard to our data," said Kelly Holland, the site's chief executive, in an email on Saturday.

The attackers change the Instagram account's passwords.

Symantec notes that accounts remain in the same state even after months, indicating that owners may have created new accounts since.

When asked, Revolver denied he was behind the data breach, and instead blamed users of an underground Russian hacking site.
